Question

I have a java project hosted on a GitHub. And I want to allow see JavaDoc HTML-page for this hosting. For this purpose I create gh-pahes branch.

How I can easy move/commit JavaDoc (that created into master branch) into gh-pages branch using EGit and Eclipse IDE? I regenerate JavaDoc often and want find way to easy commit new version JavaDoc to gh-pages but working into master branch.

Answer 1

I found not so good solution as I want, but it is works:

1. Create gh-pages branch in a GitHub.
2. Checkout this branch.
3. Switch from gh-pages to master and generate javadoc.
4. Commit javadocs.
5. Switch from master to gh-pages branch.
6. You can see that gh-pages branch includes javadoc folder.
7. Just commit this folder into gh-pages.
8. See how to update!

How to update:

1. In master branch remove all javadoc directory and regenerate javadoc.
2. Commit only the generated javadoc!.
3. Switch from master to gh-pages branch.
4. Remove old javadoc and commit this changes!
5. Right-click on you project and select Team -> Show in History.
6. Found you commit with javadoc from master branch.
7. Right-click on this commit and select Cherry Pick.

Thats is all! Now you commit from master branch copy to gh-pages branch!

I don’t know WHY I need using special branch for access to my HTML docs in the GitHub?! Use Google Code is MORE useful!
